A dark high contrast theme, with greater contrast between foreground and background elements, is now available to all github.com users as a public beta. Opt-in to the beta by enabling the theme in your Feature Preview settings, located in the profile menu dropdown. Once the Feature Preview has been enabled, navigate to the "Appearance" page in your profile settings to choose the dark high contrast theme.
Please note, you may notice color issues with other themes when in this beta. If they are disruptive you can opt-out by disabling in Feature Preview.
We now show a confirmation dialog when a review is requested from a team with more than 100 members, allowing users to exclude such large teams from their review request. This change makes it less likely that large teams will be added by accident, preventing unnecessary notifications for large team members.
Last month, we announced that security alert notifications were changing to an opt-in model. We have completed this change and users now receive notifications only for repositories they watch and have selected to receive All Activity or configured Custom to include Security alerts.
We are implementing a change to the default notification settings for security alerts. Previously, if you had permission to view security alerts in a repository, you would receive notifications for that repository as long as your settings allowed for security alert notifications. Starting today, we are moving to a model where you must opt-in to security alert notifications by watching the repository. You will be notified as long as you select All Activity or configure Custom to include Security alerts. You will have 30 days to opt-in to these security alert notifications, or you will stop receiving them.
If you want to continue to receive security alert notifications for all of the repositories that you currently receive them for, you can find a migration experience at the bottom of the watching page. Click Subscribe to security alerts to easily opt-in.
Developers who contributed to the specific versions of projects and libraries used by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to put the Ingenuity helicopter into the Martian atmosphere will receive a new badge on their profile to commemorate their contributions to this historic achievement in planetary exploration.
See the list of repositories and versions which qualify a user for getting the badge here.
